What version of z/OS? 

The full blown mail transport server, SMTP, is no longer supported/shipped with 
z/OS.  I think it was dropped as of z/OS 2.3.  It was replaced with  CSSMTP, 
which is not a full blown mail transport server.  Meaning it can't receive mail 
and it can only forward email to another SMTP server.  CSSMTP requires at least 
one targetserver to be specified.
